  1. @mokopapa And why I admire #qiulaewong. She called #WinstonPeters out as a racist but acknowledged that even #nzfirst have the odd good idea. A better future is made by finding ways of working together.

  2. Winston First really haven't through their cash for babies policy. Putting aside all the other, more obvious reasons why it's a bad idea, let's say it works as advertised. So there's a huge baby boom over the next 5-10 years, just like there was after WW2. Can't see any possible way that could go wrong ...

    Of course I'm assuming WF and their supporters care what about happens after they die. Probably unwise when more evidence points to the opposite.

    Whether #NZFirst is actively recruiting Neo-Nazis is up for debate but what we do know is party leader Winston Peters is not only comfortable having Nazis in the party he is also defending their right to be #Nazis.

    I spoke with a number of Asian parents at one of my kids football game on Saturday.

    All of them are appalled and incredibly offended by Winston Peters' racist slurs and as long as #National and #Act refuse to rule out working with #NZFirst then expect a giant shift of Asian voters to NZ Labour in the upcoming #NZPol election.

    The irony is, they seemed to be more offended by Luxon than they are of Peters.

  5. From Darien Fenton on #Facebook (with hashtags added here):
    'What Andrea #Vance said in The Post today:
    'Andrea Vance: If a foreign diplomat can stand up to Peters, why can’t #Luxon?
    'OPINION: ...
    'Only weeks ago, #NZFirst proposed stripping around half a million permanent residents of voting rights. Last month its #Mumbai-born Upper Harbour #candidate Bernadette Soares suggested temporarily closing the border to migrants.
    '...In April deputy leader #ShaneJones dismissed a trade deal with #India by saying he didn't want a “butter chicken tsunami” coming to New Zealand.
    'Do not diminish any of this as empty parliamentary theatre.
    'This is the exact playbook of Donald #Trump’s #MAGA movement. That is precisely how the rhetoric took root in the United States: first non-white #migrants were scapegoated and their #loyalty questioned, #voting rights were stripped, then border control was militarised, ICE raids become routine, and the civic fabric of a nation was torn apart.
    'To secure his own #political survival, Peters is dragging New Zealand down the same toxic path as the US and the UK, actively importing hyper-polarisation and fracturing social cohesion until the country becomes as divided and ungovernable as Washington or Westminster.

    'Its also straight out of another playbook: Peters’ own campaign manual.
    He has long understood the value of provoking governing partners into overreacting and then presenting himself as the aggrieved victim.
    'Which leaves Christopher Luxon with a problem of his own making.
    'By failing to draw a line early in the coalition, he allowed Peters to define where the line sits. Sack him now and Peters claims martyrdom. Keep him, and Luxon owns both the behaviour and the message it sends.
    '.....'

  6. It's the great replacement theory, isn't it. Winston is channelling the white supremacist thinking which motivated the mosque terrorist.

    I'm sure NZFirst will have some new election slogans this time.

    "Making NZ white again."

    "Get out there and breed, damn you all."

  7. "I have always believed I was a cis woman married to a cis man. With the help of NZ First, I’ve come to see that gender can be fluid and means different things to different people."

  8. Considering Winston Peters and #NZFirst were in coalition with #NZLabour when this #NZPol funded #Aotearoa #NewZealand Human Rights commission ad was produced, I expect Winston was already senile enough at this point to think this #TaikaWaititi ad was intended as a guide for #Racist FAQuaRs rather than satire.

  9. CW: racist and ableist slurs

    @pezmico

    It's so depressing just how disgusting these #NZFirst voters are although, tbf, they could equally be #Act or #National supporters.

    They all share one thing in common.

  10. Great speech by Kieran McAnaulty in the #NZPol general debate.

    I particularly enjoyed him pointing out the insanity of the #NZFirst cooker party.

  11. @Salty

    If I was being generous I would blame dementia for Winston's erratic unhinged behaivour however the fact he's still not been disciplined by the coward in chief Chris Luxon tells me this appalling racism and immoral behaivour is acceptable to the #NZPol Prime Minister.

    And who the hell is the #NZFirst goon sitting behind Winston Peters laughing, he needs to be thrown out of parliament too.

  12. Go show some love to the real #NZPol #NZFirst party the #NZGreens and give this video a #YouTube like to help push the algorithm.

  13. @rupert @wittyeti.bsky.social

    This provides a useful guide to the location and behaivour of tax evaders who flee their countries to avoid taxes.

    Ironically #ReformUK have very close links with the #NZPol #NZFirst Party which employs Reform's advisors and PR agents.

  14. Narcissists, psychopaths and sociopaths always oppose 'regulation' whether regarding safety or non-narcissism-enabling guidelines for ethical conduct.

    The recent unnecessary US outbreak of diarrhea, far right Brexity distortions of life saving human rights, and New Zealand's history of leaky houses are all examples of reason being overwritten by corrupt drives for narcissistic gain, usually only to the benefit of the already ultra-wealthy, or those who will step on anybody in a pathetic attempt to get into that ring-fenced group.

    So, when right wing political movements like ACT or NZ First demonise 'regulation' , I know erosion and escalation of corruption follow, masked by calculated increased division of population.

    I really do not fall for it, whichever country the 'efficiency and de-regulation' sham is being played. The shabby escalation of assets from the 99% to the 1% always follows when populations fall for it.

  15. @Salty @alpinefolk

    Sadly, it’s about far worse than that. Owning the #Woke is a sideshow to stop people questioning who the #NZFirst Party with #ReformUK advisors and PR agents are working for.

    The amount of exposure of Reform’s links to dark money funders using laundered funds from tax havens to push through corrupt policies to further enrich the oligarchs should be ringing alarm bells here in NZ.

    The fact NZ First are even taking advice from these crooks should have every NZer questioning who are they actually destroying #Aotearoa #NewZealand for.

    #NZPol

  16. @pezmico

    How many more years do you think Winston Peters has left to worry about #Woke scientists, economists, environmentalists and children annoying him with tales of the devastating consequences of the #ClimateChange we're already facing becoming a real time existential threat?

    To have any chance of a future #Aotearoa #NewZealand must adapt to a #MultiPolar world energised by renewable electricity.

    #NZFirst are committing living and future NZers to an early grave.

  17. CW: NZPol - NZFirst pledges $1bn gift to fossil industry

    Oil & gas multinationals have little interest in NZ. Exploration is costly and decades of industry testing & drilling have led to no significant discoveries. But Dopey First think they've found a way to change that.

    Instead of leaving the risks of exploration to oil companies, NZ First will transfer the risk to the NZ taxpayer. Winston announced that they'll sink a billion dollars into a survey of offshore oil and gas reserves.

    Waffling on as if the climate crisis doesn't exist, doddery grandad reckons it'll only take six years to identify those vast (but so far invisible) tracts of fossil fuels which have eluded everyone and go into production.

    Six years sounds far too quick and donating a billion dollars to offshore entities chasing filthy fossil dreams doesn't feel like an election winner to me.

    Oh, in today's speech Winston also described Labour as "far left", showing how far removed he has become from reality.

    Lie down with cookers... get up with fleas. Or something like that.

  18. By selecting too many weirdo right wing candidates do you think #Act #NZFirst and even #National risk splitting the weirdo right wing vote?

    There surely can’t be enough weirdo right wing supporters to deliver a win for all the right wing weirdo parties?

    #NZPol

  19. @BobLefridge @paulh

    It is worth noting the #NZPol coalition of corruption’s strong connections to the US #AtlasNetwork #HeritageFoundation and its #Project2025 which oppose renewable energy, alternative modes of transportation and of course any alternative sexual orientation.

    Winston Peters and #NZFirst didn’t suddenly become obsessed with people’s genitalia and sexual orientation without being instructed by their political masters. Also never let NZF’s strong alliance with #ReformUK ever be forgotten.

    Changing the Rules: Why #NZFirst’s Attack on Voting Rights Hurts All of Us
    '#NZ First has ... campaigned as the party of stability, the “handbrake” designed to protect our long-standing traditions from radical change. But the party’s latest 2026 #campaign announcement to strip permanent #residents of their #voting #rights does exactly the opposite. It is a direct attack on a foundational part of our #democracy that has worked quietly and successfully for over 50 years.'

  21. I'm just asking questions.

    Should Winston Peters, Shane Jones and the #NZFirst party be worried about #CountBinFace exposing their foolish allegiance with #ReformUK and their obvious connections with corrupt foreign tax haven interests?

  22. CW: NZPol - NZFirst, counting the cookers

    Another former National MP and certified cooker joins NZ First. Harete Hipango, who now identifies as Harete Hipango-Brownlie, was a supporter of the anti-vax 'Voices for Freedom' group.

    S'funny, you never hear a peep from VfF these days.

  23. CW: Did God send a message to Shane Jones?

    Shane Jones spoke to 250 party faithful in Oamaru yesterday, promising that NZ First would abolish the Waitangi Tribunal, scrap regional councils and take the country out of ‘‘climate change hysteria’’.

    Within 12 hours Oamaru flooded because of climate change.

    Coincidence?

  24. What #NZ has is an immoral, corrupt and complicit government that is blaming #Iran for being illegally attacked by #Israel and #USA and daring to defend its sovereignty and defending the people of #Palestine from a #genocide.

    I am so ashamed by the complicity of this #NZPol Coalition of Criminals playing its part in #WarCrimes and failing to uphold the #Geneva Convention and #Nuremberg Tribunal.

    Anyone who votes for #National #Act or #NZFirst in the November election is voting for war criminals and traitors to NZ.

  25. CW: NZpol - Pigs at the trough

    Today's piggie is Wellington-based NZFirst list MP and former Wellington mayor Andy Foster. He's claiming a taxpayer subsidy of $36,400 every year for a home he's owned since 2,000. He hasn't reported any mortgage on the property.

    With a mortgage-free property, Foster is struggling on an MP's salary of only $181,200 per year.

  26. Stuff today has an honest headline announcing Cocurollo's candidacy.

    "NZ First selects anti-fluoride mayor as Whangārei candidate"

    He's also involved in some dodgy scheme in Northland to turn plastic into diesel by burning it. Sounds kosher.

    In NZFirst terms, this is likely the 'best and brightest' they can come up with because their gene pool is pretty shallow and filled with cookers. If you're not unhinged, you're not on the team.

  27. CW: National vs NZFirst -- the scrapping continues

    With National sagging in the polls and haemorrhaging voters to NZFirst, the scrap between Luxon and Peters consumes a lot of oxygen.

    Former National Minister Chris Finlayson doesn't believe Luxon's coalition will make it as far as November. He calls NZ First "an excrescence." I looked it up -- it's warts and pimples.

    "... I think the best thing the National Party can do is try and extricate themselves from this grisly coalition and declare war on New Zealand First…"

    NZ's right wing coalition is looking increasingly fragile.

  28. CW: All Black captain comes out as a cooker

    How to blot your copybook and shit all over your reputation in one easy move.

    All Blacks traditionally tend to vote National. However former AB captain Taine Randell has been selected as the Tukituki (Hawke’s Bay) candidate for NZ First. The seat is currently held by National.

    Imagine deciding to run for parliament and concluding that Winston and Shane provided the best alignment to your values.

    Fuck that guy!
